A new approach to the synthesis of Z-dehydrotryptophan (ΔTrp) peptides is described. This approach uses Fmoc-β-HOTrp(Boc)(TBS)-OH as a building block, which is readily prepared in high yield and incorporated into peptides using solid-phase Fmoc chemistry. The tert-butyldimethylsilyl-protected indolic alcohol is eliminated during global deprotection/resin cleavage to give ΔTrp peptides exclusively as the thermodynamically favored Z isomer. This approach was applied to the solid-phase synthesis of tunicyclin B, sclerotide A, CDA3a, and CDA4a.

When investigating the Sharpless epoxidation of enol-protected 4-hydroxy-1,2-cyclopentanediones, the ability of the asymmetric Ti(OiPr)4/tartaric ester complex to discriminate between enantiomeric epoxides formed in situ was discovered, leading to the epoxide opening reaction of only one enantiomer. This observation was used in the kinetic resolution of racemic substituted 2,3-epoxy-4-hydroxy-cyclopentanol, to afford enantiomerically enriched epoxyalcohols in good yields and with ees up to 96%.

Helical mesoporous materials of the MCM-41 type with different pore sizes were prepared, choosing as templates myristyl (C14) or cetyl (C16) trimethyl ammonium salts, and functionalized with Mo(II) active sites based on MoI2(CO)3 (1) and MoBr(η3-C3H5)(CO)2 (2) fragments, respectively, using a pyridine-2-carbaldehyde ligand as anchor. The new materials were tested as the catalytic precursors in the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene, styrene, R-(+)-limonene, trans-hex-2-en-1-ol, cis-3-hex-1-ol, and geraniol using tert-butylhydroperoxide (tbhp) as oxidant. All catalysts were moderately to highly selective toward the epoxide products. The materials with larger pores (C16 template) displayed a better catalytic activity, leading in general to higher conversions and selectivities, as well as faster kinetics. For instance, geraniol is epoxidized (more than 90%) with conversions above 90%. The major achievement of these catalysts, however, is the excellent product selectivity control, which is boosted when the allyl complex 1 is used, reaching 100% of the 2S, 3R species in the epoxidation of trans-hex-2-en-1-ol. The catalysts were also found to be stable through recycling experiments and truly heterogeneous with little or no leaching.
